Anyone familiar with acclimation procedures?
You actually do have to acclimate mangroves to higher salinities slowly. They prefer brackish water but will grow fine in full salt. You will also need to wipe off their leaves on a regular basis. They expell the salt through their leaves...no need for me to ramble on...check out the link below
